We have pasted this place many of times and said we would go in one day and last Saturday we did just that. It wasn’t planned we wanted to find a pub where we could have a drink and this was ideal. We ended up have a small bite to eat and we wasn’t disappointed.A starter and desserts was perfect and it was good ole pub food.We loved the fact there was bar stools at the bar for people to just have a drink.Staff were friendly and service was great. It was quiet but atmosphere was lovely.They served a yummy looking roast lunch.We will definitely be back when we have more time and plan on eating more.

Always a warm welcome from Nick and his team. They go out of their way to make my boys very welcome (all 3 have learning disabilities). Food is homely and comforting.

Nick and his crew are doing a grand job at the Old Mill House in Saxtead. During storm Babet in 2023 we were unable to find a route past Framlingham. We were trapped by flooded roads in all directions. We turned a corner and found this pub, a true oasis and a godsend. We had several good beers and food over the next couple of days. Nick was a friendly and amiable chap. Next time we're passing through we'll definitely call in again for a chinwag, good beer and home cooked food. Top pub.

Made to feel uncomfortable by the very rude owner on my first visit, which will also be my last. The carvery was mediocre at best - fatty meat, mushy overcooked broccoli and soft, floppy crackling. The young waiters on duty were the only saving grace but if the owner speaks to his customers so rudely, I can only imagine how he speaks to them.

Superb Pub/ Restaurant. Landlord witty and good fun, landlady superb. Beautiful food prepared and served with pride and care. Chances upon this pub and we were blown away by the charm of the building and the hosts. Plus it’s dog friendly too. Thank you.

Great experience at this place last Sunday, food was delicious and owner was very welcoming. My child loved the outside play area. If we lived closer we'd definitely be visiting more frequently.Kid-friendliness: Great play park

We visited the Old Mill House over the weekend and could not be happier with our experience. The building has such lovely curb appeal that we actually drove by on our way Orford Castle and decided to turn around and try it for lunch before continuing to the castle.The carvery was very good!! My husband cleaned his plate. I wanted something lighter and opted for a salmon sandwich. It was simple but very good.There is loads of parking and a large outdoor play area for the kiddos. We really enjoyed our time there and plan on returning. Highly recommend.
First time to visit the pub even though we live near by. Everything was perfect. Great value, decent portion sizes and friendly service. Nick was very entertaining. Well done to all

Been a couple of times when on holiday and always had good food at reasonable prices. We went with a couple of friends and every meal was plentiful and delicious. There is a huge board with desserts on offer and we can highly recommend the apple crumble, cheesecake and icecream sundaes. Dog friendly, lots of parking and children's play area.
